Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat
Two weeks ago I had acute tonsilitis and was in bed really ill for 3 days, I was given antibiotics. However the tonsilitis has come back and the doctor says its viral and won t give me anything for it this time. I don t feel as bad as last time but my throat is so sore my tonsils are very enlarged and red, I can t sleep and am finding it very difficult to eat and drink. What can I do to relieve the sore throat? I have gargled with salt water, taken ibuprofen, paracetamol, sucked throat sweets, tried hot drinks and cold drinks. I am fed up with feeling so under the weather as I have a disabled 7 year old and a two year old to look after and I really don t want them to get it!

HI
Well come to HMC
If this is viral condition of throat then you need to be very patience and just take it easy some time this may take little more time to come around, stop cold drink instead have hot drink, be in bed, continue hot water gargle, every thing would be fine soon, take care.
